Tech Support for Burning DVDs.

So, here's the deal. I downloaded Salute your Shorts, seasons 1 and 2. Usually when I download things, they're in easy to stream-to-my-360-and-ps3 formats. Not this one!

It's two folders with VOB files. The "readme" says it's in "easy to burn to DVD format". Well, I've been around the net a bit and tried downloading a few things, but I can't get this shit to work. So? I'm coming to you guys for an easy answer.

You will be paid with moderate adoration.

While I have no idea how to help you, I did want to say that the fact that you downloaded Salute Your Shorts makes you fucking awesome.

I had the series a while back on some bootlegs a roomie had bought on eBay. And we made a drinking game for it, such as "whenever Dr. Kahn makes an announcement, drink" and "whenever Buttnick is scheming, two drinks".

Special rules for hippie chick being a hippie and Sponge being smart. The episode where Sponge is trying to win the radio trivia challenge messed us up pretty solid.

.vob files are what make up DVDs but unfortunately, you can't simply burn them to a DVD and hope for it to play correctly (odd, I know).

If you have just the .vob files and nothing else, you're missing the .ifo/.bup files. Use this program to help you create them using the .vobs: http://www.ifoedit.com/

If you have all the files, make two folders: VIDEO_TS (all the .vob, .ifo, & .bup files go in here) and a AUDIO_TS folder (this one can be empty). These two folders will make up your DVD disc.

If you don't want to use Nero Burning ROM/Express (which has a "Make Video DVD" option which would allow you to burn a DVD player compatible disc), you can use ImgBurn (free and light-weight): http://www.imgburn.com. Here are some instructions if you plan to go this route: http://www.gromkov.com/faq/faq2004-0026.html

DVD Shrink is another option:

Download DVD Shrink 3.2.0.15 - FileHippo.com

fire it up, press the "Open Files" button, and then select the folder with the VOBs and hit OK. after it's done, insert a blank DVD and hit "Backup" and then the OK button. voila!

AH. See, none of the video files were in a VIDEO_TS folder! That explains fuckin' everything. I already had all the programs you guys have mentioned, so I should be able to figure it out from here. Thanks so much for your help!

Infinite adoration for you all.
